Review: 'Art Sleeves: Album Covers by Artists'

There have been many collections of album cover images, and the implication of all of them is that the album cover is more than a carrying case for music: it is a self-contained work of art.

Pepper’s or Storm Thorgerson’s striking Dark Side of the Moon prism support that stance, but another collection of such usual suspects would be pointless.
